Symptom
- When creating planning proposal, the type is incorrect.
- When creating a new planning proposal, after filling in the basic information, the [Category] field should appear as: "Production Proposal"; however, the document appears as "Stock Transfer Proposal".
- Causes inability to create production requests and production orders later.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to the Supply Planning work center.
- Go to the Products view.
- Open the Advanced Filter and enter relevant Product ID and Supply Planning Area ID.
- Click Go.
- Click Open to open the relevant Product Planning Details.
- Create a Planning Proposal; the system creates a Stock Transfer Proposal instead of a Production Proposal.
Cause
Wrong Configuration. For the Planning Area, Procurement Type maintained is Internal Procurement which is causing the system to create Stock Transfer Proposal.
Resolution
To have the system create Production Proposal, ensure the Procurement Type is "In-house Production". Also ensure there is a valid Released Planning Model in the system.
Confirm that the system is working correctly as configured.
